The advertising regulator apologised to viewers after it received about 200 complaints that it was offensive and inappropriate.

What exactly is it that viewers are offended by?

    • Can't understand apart from middle-england prudishness kicking in, no doubt spearheaded by the Daily Mail.

      Well executed, nice build-up, and great juxtaposition of the cliché that is most other FMCG advertising - i.e. housewife sends off kids with school lunch. Love it.

      Shame on Heinz for pulling it, or clever Heinz for realising it will garner way more attention this way ?
      Can just about see a post watershed argument, but hey, they never banned my two dads when that was on in a post-school slot.

      This however is way more dubious - recent winner of a Press Grand Prix for at Cannes...
